What a Way to End the Trip!

One last amazing update...

This afternoon we received an email saying that the baby had been approved for surgery in the United States!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is such a huge miracle and blessing.  Our hearts are overjoyed.  At this point the group who will be providing the care wishes to remain anonymous.  We aren't sure if we are allowed to post pictures of him or not, but when we can we will.  He is such a cutie!!!  

We were very surprised by this news as typically a group will not bring a child over that has more than one medical need. Since he may have down syndrome, there might be other medical issues the come along with that, so we thought that they would say no.  When you see this mother and father look at their baby, your hearts would have been breaking as ours were.  The love him so much and are so sweet with him.  

Please pray that things go smoothly on the Cambodian end, that he gets a medical visa, and please pray for his family.  This will be a big deal for the mom to come to the United States away from the rest of her family.  Oh my gosh, we are so happy right now!!!!

We will keep you updated!
Thanks!!!!
